I'll let you off.
I'm still very conflicted about Sprocket. She really isn't doing much to cause any trouble (apart from the usual kitten stuff
) but I think Astryd's a little put out by her being here. She hisses at her every time Sprocket tries to see who she is.
Chi just bops her when she annoys him Darwin nose touches then pootles off and Sage is a little "slinkier" than usual because she's waiting for Sprocket to be a kitten and ambush her.
I'm not sure how fair it is on the others. I'll admit, I already love the little scamp and would love to think the reason she was out was because she was a sneaky so and so that got past a door that should've been shut. But I don't think that's the case.
I know of a couple just up the street from me who are great with their cats (as in, cats are spoiled but still allowed to behave like cats. None of this "look cute and behave" business
) and they currently only have one cat aged a year. Sprocket was estimated around 6 to 8 months by the vet. I wonder if she'd benefit from being with another cat closer to her age......I don't want to keep her purely because I love her. I want to do what's right for her.
